Troops of Operation Lafiya Dole deployed at a Forward Operational
Base in Benisheikh have uncovered a Boko Haram training camp where
instructional training was provided to its foot soldiers.

Troops uncovered the Camp located in a hide out in Afa general area
on Sunday morning at about 9.30 am, following a tip off that insurgents
were being trained in the hideout.

Armed with the information, troops immediately mobilised to the area
where they conducted a cordon and search operation. During the
operation, troops encountered elements of Boko Haram insurgents who were
withdrawing hastily from the camp.

In the shootout that ensued, troops killed one of the insurgents and
recovered one Dane gun. Troops also rescued one Mallam Abba, who was
held hostage in the camp by the insurgents.
The entire training camp has been destroyed by the gallant troops.
